A veneer is a layer of tooth coloured material, usually porcelain, which is cemented to the facial surface of the tooth. Veneers are also used to improve the appearance of teeth, particularly if they are discoloured; eroded or surface abrasions are evident. A veneer may be placed on one or more anterior teeth to improve the colour of the teeth or perhaps to close in a large gap between teeth. This procedure is much less invasive than a full coverage restoration and it preserves the natural structure of the tooth.

If a veneer becomes chipped or discoloured it can easily be replaced. A patient should avoid biting on hard substances such as ice, bones, and hard vegetables that could fracture the veneer. The result of cosmetically bonded veneers is aesthetically pleasing and there is no discomfort during the procedure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A crown (sometimes referred to as a cap) is a full coverage restoration that restores the anatomical surfaces of a damaged or fractured tooth to their original contour and function. The anatomical surfaces are the parts of the tooth that you can see above the gum line. Typically, this type of restoration is recommended when there is very little tooth structure left to restore. The retention of filling material is poor without adequate surface to which the material will adhere. This results in the tooth requiring both constant and frequent repair.<\/p>

A crown is permanently cemented onto the prepared tooth structure. This type of restorative procedure is often a dentist\u2019s treatment of choice because of the excellent clinical results achieved in creating a strong, permanent restoration. The aesthetic quality of these restorations enhances the overall appearance of the smile, one of our most important communicative features.<\/p>
